"Talking bollocks" in a corporate context is referred to as bollockspeak. Bollockspeak tends to be buzzword-laden and largely content-free, like gobbledygook: "Rupert, we'll have to leverage our synergies to facilitate a paradigm shift by Q4" is an example of management bollockspeak. There is a whole parodic book entitled The Little Book of Management Bollocks.[7]The Brokendown Barmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729499535859152598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16639447.post-6089529499246644492008-10-27T10:32:00.000+00:002008-10-27T10:32:00.000+00:00Let's hope we get one then, Hope!And you are all r...Let's hope we get one then, Hope!<BR/><BR/>And you are all right to be fighting over the last copies of Hugh's Hedge (that sounds weird...).
